Caddy Rowland

I like a book that makes me think and feel. A book that helps me understand another type of person’s motivation, even if it differs from what I’ve embraced as acceptable. That is what I strive for when writing. I don’t much care for predictable stories, nor do I like books that follow a specific formula. I like to tell stories about the sublime joy and bitter tragedy of being human. My writing is raw, “real”, graphic, and sometimes brutal. There isn’t always a happy ending, although sometimes it happens. My main characters have major flaws, and they don’t always learn the lessons predictable storylines demand. People don’t always change to become what you want, so neither should fictional characters.

Their younger brother, Hermann, who is still under his parents’ influence, appears content to continue on the path they have marked out for him. The political and economic events of the 1930s and 1940s cast a shadow over Europe, and each member of the Van Dornbach family is affected by these events in a different way.

Author’s Inspiration: The book was inspired by and based on actual documents and correspondence brought out of Germany by a relative of the author’s, who managed to gain refuge in England after Kristallnacht of November 1938.

Author’s Inspiration: I was inspired to write Desperate because of my love for history, especially The Civil War. Over the years I read many historical romance novels.

MERRIE P. WYCOFF

SHAYNE PARKINSON

I write historical novels set in New Zealand, starting in the 1880s. I’m currently working on my sixth book, this one covering the years from 1918 to 1923. I’m fascinated by social history, particularly that of my own country. I was born in New Zealand, and apart from two years in England have lived here all my life. I’m married to my childhood sweetheart, who grew up in the farming valley that’s the inspiration for my imaginary one. We have a few acres in the countryside, where we have an orchard and a large vegetable garden, and a small flock of sheep to keep the grass down. We make our own wine, cider, jams, jellies and sauces.

Book Description: Last Flight Of The Electra begins with the story of an old Polynesian man named Truc who is discovered sailing a vessel he has obviously built from the remaining parts of Amelia Earhart’s Airplane, 800 miles out of Hawaii. As Truc struggles to bring Amelia’s story to the modern world through her last diary, he befriends Captain Steve Channing of the United States Coast Guard and forever changes the soon-to-be blind Captain’s life by teaching him ancient ways of sailing, long lost to the modern world. This story is a modern tale with a historical twist that will keep you on your seat as you discover the brutal truth behind the Japanese occupation of the Marshal Islands long before Word War Two. It is a tale of hope, love, friendship and finding inner peace.

Author’s Inspiration: I was inspired to write this book upon being introduced to a jail cell in which Amelia Earhart may have once been a captive. The island’s hidden history gave good reason for the story since it was a top secret military base used by the Japanese. Also, I was once saved by the United States Coast Guard and I wanted to make sure their service was saluted in this novel.

Editor’s Note: EXIT UNICORNS is an epic saga about Ireland that is both sweeping and poetic.

Exit Unicorns is worthy of many readings and there are details to discover and love on every re-read.

Book Description: In this sweeping and powerful epic, the journey begins in the ‘terrible beauty’ of Northern Ireland during a time when conflict reigns and no one is spared from tragedy and sorrow – the time known as The Troubles. It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O’Flaherty has crossed an ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl. All three lives are on a collision course with each other against the backdrop of the burgeoning civil rights movement and a nation on the brink of revolution

Author’s Inspiration: My family comes from Northern Ireland and I wanted to answer the one question I was often asked when people found out about my ancestry- ‘The Irish, do they even know what they are fighting about?’ Yes, they did and do. This story is my answer to that question.

CINDY BRANDNER

I have a great passion for both Ireland and for writing, it was only natural that I would combine the two. My trilogy about Ireland has won a few awards for Best Historical Fiction and Best Fiction of 2012 and 2013. My books have been called a ‘modern day ‘Trinity.

Lucinda Brant is a NY Times and USA Today bestselling author of Georgian historical romances and mysteries. She lives in the 18th Century most days (heaven!), drinks Nespresso coffee like water, and thinks Dr. Evil is incredibly funny.
